For the love of god man get some form of back to black on them engine plastics, or even wd40 lol !!!! I speak with complete lack of experience but have you changed the actuator ? You seem to have done everything else so that might be your slight power issue ? Although I deffinitly wouldnt be complaining about them figures cant wait for a map !

Yeah it needs a bit of love under the bonnet lol

Actuator is a Forge with yellow spring. I've just added too much post map I think so it needs a good tweak to get the best out of it

It's still lovely to drive, just useless on full boost at the mo as it's so wet so I've got the N75 turned off permanently lol

Sacked off the K04 idea as it was just a K03s when I opened it up and measured everything...

So I have turned my attention back to the rear brakes and bought myself a refurb kit for my 256mm calipers.



The spare beam I have is being moved up to my parents this weekend so I can strip the rest of it down and paint it
